Check the Sunday Times today.
It's in the books section, under Lifestyle.
SQ21 is the Number 6 best-selling non-fiction title in this past week. We actually beat Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie!
Our effervescent Yangfa had this to say in response:
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved in the book (that's US!), which made it to no. 6 on the list this week.
This was probably unexpected - who would have thought that it would be so well-received, & that we'd even be talking about a second print run/ edition? many of my straight friends & colleagues have said some very positive & encouraging things after reading our stories -- I certainly hope each of us have our own
personal "SQ 21 anectdotes".
my social work lecturer (to whom I gave a signed copy) liked how everyone, in their stories, shared their own ways of coping as they were coming out. she even asked
for another copy for a colleague. I'm now even thinking of passing a copy to a friend who's brother is another newly-elected PAP MP. another straight friend sold his own copy to someone else, & wants me to sign a couple more for him & his friends.
Non-Fiction
1. Ten by Vincent Ng
2. Final Notes from a Great Island by Neil Humphreys
3. Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires by Adam Khoo
4. One Business 99 Lessons by Nanz Chong-Komo

6. SQ21: Singapore Queers in the 21st Century by Ng Yi-Sheng
7. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
8. Marley & Me by John Grogan
9. Making Globalization Work by Joseph Stiglitz
10. The Long Tail by Chris Anderson
For the time being, my mum's taken away the page itself to scan it in. :)
